I remember actually calling Yahoo about something (I think web hosting?) I remember I thought that was a huge problem with Google (and still do) that there is no way to call them.

How often do you see any web startup these days post a phone number, let alone a physical address?
if you're afraid of associating your contact data with your startup you're either running an illegal site or you're ashamed of your own idea.
I am not posting my contact data on a website of mine because I do not want my real life social circle to know about one of my online circles. it is a simple matter of privacy. your comment is a strawmen or how you call that. there are many more possible reasonings than your two.

As far as I remember, it was a feature, not a bug (at least I remember reading something like that back then... can’t find any referenes right now): the idea was, Yahoo worked well with any light background colour.

#34Yeah, things here have been running for an inordinately long time.
One of the servers hosting that page:
-bash-3.2$ uptime 8:53PM up 3982 days .....
apache's been running for 8+ years. Stable as all heck.

Or you provide support some other way than by phone. Plenty of consumer startups large and small don't have an easily reachable phone number on their sites.

#38The quality of the image notwithstanding (and there were good reasons for that with the bandwidth of the time), this page looks remarkably good, and holds up far better than sites half its age. Just goes to show yet again that with design less really is more.
That is a really clean and clear page to me. There is only relevant information with a small amount of irritation on it. And it works for mobile too! :)
